Chapter 760 The Most Vicious Tongue in History
Because she caught a cold last night and had a stiff neck, the heroine Erina Nakiri stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, expressionlessly looking at the beautiful scenery outside, with thoughts racing in her mind, recalling past "accomplishments".
They don't accept reservations after 6 pm, and they don't help to get a number in advance when they call. The wait lasts for an hour and a half. The waiters are all handsome men over 1.8 meters tall, so no one will give up the number even if they wait for an hour and a half - France Sicily is so elegant.
This restaurant only has 26 seats. If you don't make a reservation three weeks in advance, you won't be able to eat. The chefs here will have their own menus, and the dishes are usually closely related to the seasons. When you sit in front of the bar and call out "menu", you may also find that the bar here is still made of rare cypress wood. Ordering here takes the form of "OMAKASE", where the chef customizes dishes according to the guest's budget and taste. , so it means you need to pick the chef that suits you best.
In just one month since its opening, Sicily, France has already ranked first on the "Most Delicious Restaurants", "Most Anticipated Restaurants", and "Top 10 Popularity" lists on major mobile food apps. Gourmets who are accustomed to dining out are ready to go to Sicily, France, after get off work. Of course, there are many who want to see how bad the service can be, and whether the waiters can be handsome enough to serve the food.
Sicily, France, claims that the raw materials are transported by air to ensure the original taste, and the chef comes from a Michelin three-star restaurant.
You are in Rome, you are in Paris, you are on the Mediterranean coast, you can eat everything you can eat here.
The price in Sicily, France, is set at around 1,000 euros per capita, and with good marketing, it has quickly become a place that gourmets are vying to occupy.
When dining in Sicily, France, you can always see people taking pictures of the food, themselves, and the waiters. Even if you only order a creamy carrot soup, posting it to your WeChat Moments can spark heated discussions.
Half a year after the opening, the French Sicilian owner held a public celebration banquet and invited some media friends to follow him. Not only did he grandly introduce the Italian chef in front of the media and advertise, he also announced the new dishes for the next season.
"Next season we will have on the menu..."
"It tastes so bad..."
In the bright flash of new product launches, a female voice suddenly interrupted the French Sicilian spokesperson.
Everyone turned around and looked around. In the far corner of the banquet hall, there was a woman with long blond hair, frowning, and gently flicking the food on the plate in front of her with a silver fork.
"Provence tomato seafood cup, fishy shrimps. Just returned from traveling around the world? Asparagus and pork rolls. The asparagus must be a hundred years old. I can't even bite it. On the contrary, the beef balls in the Tuscan spicy beef balls are soft. It must be like Tuo Xiang.”
"As for desserts...don't you three-star Michelin chefs not be able to tell the difference between high-gluten flour and low-gluten flour?"
She happened to be sitting in the first row of the food tasting party, and the media focused their cameras on her. The reporter from Global Daily took a look at the nameplate in front of her and mentally slapped her thigh!
Why didn't you recognize it just now?
He immediately put the microphone in front of her.
The French Sicilian boss was sitting at the main table with a cigar in his hand, chatting with a group of business leaders. Hearing the woman's words, he smiled and glanced over.
"Nowadays, catering companies have begun to engage in word-of-mouth marketing, which is understandable, but if you look at the fat distribution of the beef in this main dish, it cannot be the imported Kobe beef you promote. You bought it at a nearby vegetable market for 16 yuan per pound, right? It's good... your boss is also a senior in the catering industry. Aren't you afraid of retribution for making such heartbreaking money?"
The host immediately came back to his senses after being stunned for a while: "Ah hahaha, lady, maybe you have too high requirements for food. Some things are not judged solely by personal preference. We in Sicily, France will never resort to shoddy food. Come on, friends from the media, let’s continue talking about next season’s menu...”
"That's right." The woman put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker and stood up, "I do have very high requirements for food. If you don't have the sincerity to make a good dish, don't open a shop."
There was a buzz of whispers in the venue, media people and guests from all walks of life were whispering to each other. The host couldn't find a camera, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at the boss.
The boss locked his eyes on the woman and asked the manager sitting next to him: "Who is this woman?"
The manager said: "Her name is Nakiri Erina, a gourmet with the tongue of God."
"Who invited her here?"
The manager wiped away his sweat: "Because she has a great influence in the culinary industry and is basically a trendsetter in the world's food trends. I invited her because she can do some publicity for our restaurant. Who knows..."
The boss narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you give me enough money?"
Manager: "No, she paid the highest price among all the guests. The money was already received, but she returned it. She said that reviewing food is not for money."
The boss said "Oh" meaningfully, took a puff of his cigar, tapped his stubby fingers twice on the table, and left.
When the manager saw his boss leaving, he quickly walked to the security guards and asked them to gently persuade Nakiri Erina to leave.
The security guard walked up to Nakiri Erina and just made a gesture to invite someone. Nakiri Erina turned around and left without saying a word.
When she reached the door, she looked back at the golden sign in the hall - Sicily, France.
It probably won't last long.
Nakiri Erina put on her sunglasses and pushed open the heavy door in Sicily, France.
The crowded city, the heavily covered road traffic, watching the sunset, the hour hand pointing to eight o'clock, the long way home.
After returning to the hotel, I looked at the deserted room, turned on the TV to make some noise, and watched boring TV series while eating the fast food I was tired of.
The rice was all gone, leaving only a greasy taste in my mouth. My stomach was full, but I didn't feel any happiness at all.
Turn on the computer with nothing to do, enter the online world, and log on to social software.
She glanced casually, and there was a lot of discussion on the Internet:
"The most popular restaurant at this time is French Sicily. Erina Nakiri must have gone there, right?"
"It's not easy to get a number for a popular restaurant like that. Let's see how she evaluates it. Do you have any recommended dishes?"
She sneered.
Later, I gave the final verdict to this store in the circle of friends.
"The chef of a Michelin three-star restaurant has a loud slogan, but he can't even figure out the flour. Now can we find a white guy to pretend to be an expert, a professor, and a chef? He only knows fancy dish names but cooks blindfolded , packaging the worst ingredients into high-quality ingredients and selling them at high prices. If you want to make yourself sick, just go to Sicily, France.”
Nakiri Erina, as a food tycoon in the world of Shokugeki no Soul, when she said these words, she basically sentenced this store to death.
Subsequently, she has visited all the famous restaurants in France, whether they are Chinese food, Western food, fusion food, aristocratic food, traditional restaurant...all of them are included in her review. No matter how popular and crowded a restaurant is, it will be criticized without mercy; no matter how low-key a roadside stall is, it will be praised without mercy...
The sales of the restaurants she praised doubled, and several bosses came to thank her, but she was turned away by Erina Nakiri. This young lady is not short of money!
A well-known gourmet, a good review is worth thousands of dollars, but Erina Nakiri openly said that anyone who sends money to her will be exposed and advises diners not to eat in such unscrupulous merchants.
"Only a careful boss and a dedicated chef can make delicious food. Businessmen only smell like copper."
So she said.
